Vouch

Vouch

Because I've learned to look at my beauty through the eyes of those that have never walked in my shoes 
How could they?
They were never  clean enough to look at
Because I've become bitter by hating everyone who's ever loved me and loving everyone has ever hated me
All because my face was never pretty enough for a visual 
Because I've let the world that I am part of dictate who i want to be 
Because I've let my loved ones judge me without even knowing how I like to breathe 
I've let me let them dictate how I view me
Because I let my non- existent insecurities become my security to what I'm unable to achieve 
I've let everyone around me hate every piece of me that I ever loved 
But from this day forward i vouch 
I vouch to be everything everyone expects me not to be 
I vouch to be myself and unapologetic about it
I vouch to let you hate me enough to start loving 
I vouch to never do thing's for anyone else but me 
I vouch to be considerate to the person in the mirror because I'm belle 
I'm everything and anything one should want to have 
I vouch to aloof to anything that won't make me grow 
I am an amenity to this world 
I am ameliorate 
I am anew
I ask you belle take this vouch not only for yourself but for the future belle looking up to you
